I do love my DKNY and Evan Picone LBDs. A nice cocktail dress is a must if your going to do cocktails with nice people (and what with America's Cup coming to SF I need to practice, practice, practice). The DKNY one still had the Macy's tags on it at Goodwill, originally $250, I got it for $3.99 on half price day. The Picone had been worn, and I did pay the whole $8 for it - oh well, nothing's perfect.
